Homeless Prevention centrally coordinates the preservation and expansion of the County's Continuum of Care system for the homeless which focuses on homeless prevention, outreach and assessment, emergency shelter, transitional housing, supportive services, and permanent supportive housing.

Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) administers federally funded programs to provide monthly rental assistance to qualified tenants in privately owned rental housing. The largest such program is referred to as the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Participants who receive a Housing Voucher can use this rental assistance in a variety of rental dwellings and locations with almost any property owner who is willing to participate in the program.

Veterans Service Office assists veterans, their survivors and dependants to receive federal and state benefits to which they are entitled and promotes understanding of the importance of our OC veterans.
